题目内容

My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's bureau(衣橱) and picked out a wonderful skirt. "Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.” Well, I guess this is the occasion.

He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed.His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion."

I'm still thinking about his words, and they've changed my attitude to life. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy,not suffer.I'm tryingto recognize these moment now and treasure them.

"Someday" and "one of these days" are being lost from my vocabulary.If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I' m not sure whatmy sister would have done if she had known she wouldn't have tomorrow .

I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.

If I knew that my hours were limited ,those little things left undone would make meangry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touchwith someday.Angry and sorry because I didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.

I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that everyday, every minute, every breath truly, is... a gift from God.

56．The best title for the passage would be______.

A．Everyday is A Gift B．My Poor Sister

C．Value Friendship Every Day D．Everyday is An Important Occasion

57．Jan bought the wonderful skirt but didn't wear it because______.

A．she wanted to wear it on special occassions

B．she kept it as a special gift for someone else

C．she saved it untill she grew older

D．she waned to keep it as a sweet memory

58．Which of the following is not the wirter’s attitude to life?

A．spending more time staying with family

B．attending social activities as often as possible

C．enjoying life and valuing every day

D．trying to get along well with friends

59．Which of the following can best explain the expression underlined “mend her fences for past things” in Paragraph 5?

A．try to be friendly again with someone

C．give up her point of view

A．warn people to treasure every day and find the meaning of life

B．encourage people to be hard on themselves for a bright life

C．tell people how to get rid of being angry and sorry in life

D．persuade people to care for themselves more than others

56-60 AABAA

解析:

56．主旨大意题。文章最后一段揭示了文章主题——每一天都是上帝赐给我们的礼物，我们要珍惜每一天。

57．细节理解题。由第一段中的She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.可知，她是想在一个特殊的场合上穿。

58．细节判断题。由第三段、第五段和第六段可知，A、C、D三项均是作者对生活的态度。B项与第三段中I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings.的表述不符。

59．本句的意思为:她可能还会给几位昔日朋友打电话主动道歉,摒弃前嫌,重归于好。A项的解释最符合句意。

60．写作目的题。本文作者通过讲述自己姐姐的故事，告诫我们每一天都是重要的，不要把希望寄托到明天，要不断地从每一天中找到生活的真谛。

It was the first snow of winter—an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers． Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help．Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she must still remember this one．
I managed to get into my wool snow trousers． But I struggled on my jacket because it didn't fit well．It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes． At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty． Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots(靴子）．
In her calm, motherly voice she said, "By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots．” I didn't realize at time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence（信心）．
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot． Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work． After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh（叹气）worked the second one on too．
I said, "They're on the wrong feet．”
She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again．
"They're my brother's boots, you know," I said． "I hate them"．
Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn't an annoying（烦人的）little girl． She pushed and pushed, gently this time． With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me，she asked, "Now, where are your mittens（连指手套）？’’
I looked into her eyes and said, "I didn't want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots．”
